Blank Canvas Winery Sauvignon Blanc Holdaway

Blank Canvas masterclass (Makris restaurant) : Subregion: Dillons Point, Soil: young alluvial, silts over sand, Winemaking: hand harvest, gentle press, tank fermentation, 13% alc, 2 g/l RS, pH 3.4, TA 6.9 g/lt -/- The wine shows high intensity in the nose, loads of pyrazine notes, citrus notes, cold green fruit, green apple, pear, white berry notes, some floral notes but in check, fresh and minty, youthful lime Palate shows the same pattern, green fruit, freshness, slightly salty and a touch …

The nose screams NZ SB, grassy, lychee, crisp and elegant. The mid palate just lacks a bit of stuffing, but a really nice wine to drink sitting in garden on a warm evening.
